>Yes. But for how long do you think a withdrawal rebound depression might last?
Hi Scott,
honestly, i don't know. that's why i'm going to stay off meds if i can but go back if my therapist and i feel that's the best course. i was speaking more out of a frustration for the lack of respect and empathy people receive from their doctors when withdrawal symptoms last longer than a few weeks. i would say this is a major problem with the way ADs are prescribed and managed, regardless of different people's experiences with relapse. we need a major overhaul of how mental illness is treated in this country.
in the meantime, i'm with you on wise use of biological treatment when needed in the system that's available. remeron likely saved my life.
take care,
jules
